Richard Dawkins website blocked in Turkey
According to Turkish posters on the Richarddawkins.net forum (via), the site has been blocked in Turkey. People trying to reach the site from the country are faced with a single line of text reading: ”Access to this site has been denied by court order.”
Speculation on the site is that the ban relates to this post, from Reuters, noting that Islamic creationist Adnan Oktar had been sentenced to three years in prison for creating an illegal organization for personal gain. Oktar has a history of bringing legal action against his online critics, including forcing the closure of Ateizm.org and convincing a Turkish court to block internet access to WordPress.com.
